Event or Problem Description
|
|
It was reported that prior to the surgery, the surgeon was unable to set the device's white balance.Despite attempts to adjust the white balance, the spinning icon on the device persisted and the setting could not be completed.The issue was resolved only after the device was switched off and then back on.This problem appears to be more frequent when the device is used continuously for two consecutive cases without being turned off in between.The technical issue resulted in a surgical delay of approximately 30 minutes.No harm to the patient was reported because of the delay.No further details are available regarding this case.
